Fleet Communications

Hello everyone, and welcome to the new blog.

First to introduce myself to those of you who don't know me. My name is Eriks, and I have been writting either game reports or more feature type articles regarding the Milwaukee Admirals for going on six years now. I was once very actice as a writer, but personal life got in the way after the death of my father in 2003. After a couple of halting attempts to get back into the swing of things, I was never really able to match my dedication to any medium or website that I was working for. With the demise of Just Hockey, the magazine that gave me my first published bylines, I lost my rudder to some degree. Yes, I could have gone to the website that spawned from it, but the timing of things was bad due to some life issues dealing with my mother's dementia.

So I decided that Blogging might be the way to pass on the information I gather each and ever game night as one of the only two reporters present most evenings. Now I work on my own deadline, and the boss here is really good at knowing when I'm slacking so he keeps my nose to the grindstone.

I hope you make Fleet Communications a regular stop on your hockey info circuit.
